3. The Ghost And Mrs Ragnarrok
Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders star as respected novelist Florence and movie star Selina, in a sparkling comedy series about two sisters at war, by Veep writer David Quantick.
Selina’s close personal ex-husband Andrew has died and – much to Florence’s rage and fury - left her a small Picasso. Meanwhile the murky waters of daughter Lucy’s parentage are stirred as Florence’s PA Mrs Ragnarrok has a mysterious meeting with Jonathan, who happens to be Lucy’s father. Unaware of any of this, Lucy continues to plan the round-the-world yacht voyage that everyone has completely forgotten she is about to undertake.
“The leads’ natural chemistry, plus David Quantick’s witty script… make for an enjoyable comedy with series potential” The Observer
“It’s as slick, dark and funny as one would expect – but surely this cannot be a one-off? The ending alone leaves us begging for a series” Radio Times
“French and Saunders sparkle with a magic that is so rarely heard in new radio comedies that I’d almost forgotten it was possible” Daily Telegraph
